We must end the horrific torment and abuse of lab animals at Huntingdon Life
Sciences. To do this we must not stop our efforts till they close their doors forever,
bankrupted and out of business. So far we have been successful curtailing a lot of their
financial funding. Let us continue the battle till we are victorious.

For those of you unfamilair with Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), it is one of the
worldıs biggest and most notorious contract animal testing labs. HLS tests agrochemical
and pharmaceutical products on puppies, cats, monkeys, rabbits, and a number of other
animals killing roughly 180,000 a year. Activists internationally have committed
themselves to shutting down HLS after 5 undercover investigations have shown workers
punching beagle puppies in the face, dissecting a conscious monkey, transplanting a frozen
pig's heart into a baboon, and falsifying scientific data and proceedures for animal
welfare.

LATEST UPDATES HLS DEMONSTRATION FURY!

Demonstrators descended upon HLS in New Jersey on Friday as the workers were
leaving for the weekend. For three hours the protestors showed their passion and
commitment to the destruction of the company by filling the air with screams of injustice
directed towards the cars trickling out of the parking lot - containing the monsters that
perform the heinous crimes we all are well to aware of at HLS.

Standing within a hundred feet or so of the compounds where thousands upon
thousands of animals are kept suffering, sick, in isolation, and in fear - the protest was
filled with an indescribable anguish and anger that was only tempered with the knowledge
that all of us on the picket line, along with the thousands of other activists across the
world, are on the path to victory and that this campaign will only intensify in effort
with every passing day and every passing animal.

The sadistic workers driving past and those still inside this Auschwitz for
animals were left with a clear reminder that we will do whatever it takes, go anywhere we
need to go, for however long it takes - to take this vile lab apart investor by investor,
customer by customer, brick by brick. Siege mentality has set in at HLS in the US as the
workers could not look at any of us, they would not let us see their eyes as they are
filled with defeat. Through the mega-phones the protestors reminded the workers over and
over again that the writing is on the wall for this lab - a diminishing customer base, a
fed up shareholder base, no profits in the last four years, a half year report showing
increased losses in all areas, no annual general meeting for this year, and now a US
listing - the final act of desperation to stave off the inevitable. The protestors and the
employees understood, in no uncertain terms, that HLS dead in the water.

Fridays demonstration was in part dedicated to all of you reading this from
different parts of the country that are working on this campaign. We on the East Coast
near the lab want to make sure you all know, while you are storming the offices of
investors and customers, that HLS is still being targeted and the actual killers who we
all have all seen in the videos tormenting the animals are feeling the wrath of the animal
rights movement.

HLS has been pushed down and is on its last leg, so lets give 'em a kicking and
get this job done!

NOTORIOUS TESTING FIRM SUFFERS FURTHER BLOW TO FINANCIAL CREDIBILITY

(Philadelphia) Animal rights activists claim second victory in one week against
the beleaguered animal-testing lab Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). Stop Huntingdon Animal
Cruelty (SHAC) has announced that the last of HLSıs market makers has dropped services to
the company after a two month campaign of public pressure. Eight financial institutions
that matched up buyers to sellers in the stock HTDLY severed ties with the company in a
nine-week campaign.

Without any market makers HLS will have severe difficulty having its shares traded
on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) on which they are listed. Without any
market makers trading in the stock, HLS will be eventually de-listed from the OTCBB and
faced with limited prospects of having any significant volumes of shares sold. Roughly ten
months ago HLS was de-listed from the NYSE for failing to meet the financial requirements
on that exchange.

This latest victory comes only one week after HLS announced an embarrassing
buy-out proposal to save itself from financial ruin and move from being a UK listed
company to a US listed company, a move lab managers took painstaking measures to avoid.
HLS announced the move last week attempting to put a positive spin on the financial defeat
with prospects of having more fluidity in their stock. The latest achievements of animal
rights activists has severely undermined this projection.

According to SHAC spokesperson Kevin Jonas, ³this victory serves as the first
indication to HLS that they will find an environment just as hostile for their
cruelty-ridden business in America as they did in Britain. HLSıs move to the US is an act
of desperation and we plan to prey upon their current vulnerabilities.²

The abandonment of market makers from HLS was also achieved earlier this year in
the UK as English activists got HLS temporarily de-listed from the London Stock Exchange.
The tactic of removing the labıs financial pillars of support has seen some of the most
significant financial institutions in the world drop their investments or services to the
scandalous lab. Citibank, Charles Schwab, and Merrill Lynch standout amongst a myriad of
companies.

CURRENT ACTION

TARGET OF THE WEEK Ligand pharmaceutical company

WHO ARE THEY?

Ligand is a small US based pharmaceutical company. They also have an office in the
UK.

HOW ARE THEY COONECTED TO "Huntingdon Life Sciences" ?

Ligand have paid for tests at HLS in which animals have been neglected, poisoned
slowly to death and have been hit and abused by angry workers.

Ligand have been made 100% aware of this abuse. It's time to turn up the heat on
these filthy monsters until they vow never to use HLS again.

Ligand was exposed in the diaries of undercover investigator Michelle Rokke who
worked at HLS1 American laboratories in 1997.The following extracts relate to experiments
on beagles paid for by Ligand.

"In room 921, study 96-3322, dog number 3693 caught her ear tag on the
feeder. I heard her crying and screaming."

"In study 96-3322 dog number 1264 is extremely thin. Her backbone curves high
above the rest of her body and her ribs are evident"

"Dog number 4694 has scabs on her face and bare spots."

"In study 96-3322, Nick and Kevin were bleeding dogs in the hallway outside
of room 920 when I went into clean. I asked if I could go in to clean and Kevin told me I
could do anything I wanted to in that room. I could clean, I could shoot them, I could do
what ever I wanted. I asked if the dogs had given them a hard time with what they had to
do. Nick said they had been every bad and Kevin agreed. He said they had tried to bite
them. Then Nick said if I go in and see any dogs walking funny and not able to hold their
heads up not to worry --it was because Kevin had to hold them down and keep them in line.
Kevin said he had to clothesline one of them at one point I put the dog on the floor to
walk and she could not walk normally."

Ligand pharmaceutical company continues to abuse animals. It is urgent that we
write to them immediately and voice our protests. Below are the email addresses. Please
take a few moments to express your outrage.
